Usher on Diddy’s Flavor Camp, Performing With Biggie & Being A Child Star In New York City

[@JStep-tl8zx]

This is why having a present father, especially a father in the home, is so important.

[@TheSpiciestGinger]

So true but also breeds resentment sadly. My brother was signed when he was about 14 and my dad had his lawyers read the contract which was bogus and it broke my bros heart and tbh they haven't got along since and no idea why really as he was given everything he ever wanted but I guess thats why they call spoilt ...spoilt

It would be better if he were to just be honest and tell how many times he got his cheeks clapped before Diddy let him be star. And is answer the question, is he proud of where his long lasting lucrative career stems from? Does he have a name from that time? “The mud days” perhaps?

@1:08 “like I need to be protected; I wasn’t.” LA Reid and his momma should be ashamed of themselves, handing him over to someone like that. To live with ? What ? Smh and him saying he didn’t have a big brother or his father in his life. Completely vulnerable. Smh glad he made it and seems to have triumphed over it all but the adults in his life failed him miserably. Smh

[@NAJErEa91]

2:11 what was that left foot tap and the little beat he made on his pants with his hands; pacifying gestures? I wish someone would do a body language analysis on this interview. It would be really interesting to hear especially with knowing what we know now and with the man he was sent to live with as a child being imprisoned for “traffic”

Usher is not being completely honest with us 😊

[@REAlMIDOFFICIAL]

We all know the reputation that Diddy has. We've all heard the accusations from women, and his accusations about messing with men. So whatever took place between them, when usher lived with diddy. Usher's parents are to be blamed just as much as diddy., For letting their son go live with a grown man, that's not family, or a friend of the family.

[@sammicroy7061]

This is BS!!! We all know what Diddy has done to Usher and now I can’t listen to his music anymore. It is sickening! Usher is talented but he was a victim turn predator when he turned over innocent little Justin Bieber to Diddy! Usher’s mom is guilty too she just gave her child over to a predator for fame and money. Usher now has fame and money ( and herpes) so I guess it was worth it to him and his mother.

[@MfromN]

Diddy probably has stuff on Bieber from when he was 15-21 too. After that Bieber had a breakdown, illness and turned to God and semi-stepped away from the industry. You can look up a music video called "Yummy" where there are PDF references, especially the ending... He also acted really weird during this time and broke down crying on set. Obviously he did depraved stuff when he was young, but hope he didn't engage in actual evil stuff...

[@aprildedert9510]

He is not a very educated speaker, “know what I’m sayin” he’s a talented man, it should reflect on his speech as well. And why didn’t he ask more about the “flavor camp” put the pressure on him a little bit and take the interview a step further an see how much he is willing to share. Just wondering why this wasn’t talked about more is all. You are doing an amazing job!! Thank u for your content!!
